    I thought it was only a PVP death that caused you to lose them.

    PvE deaths make you lose some, while PvP deaths take away all of them.

    No, leave it that way. I really like that death becomes more meaningfull now, so you should try not to die.

    Losing TV stones when you die was sick idea from beginning that only encouraged poisonous behaviours, harassment and ganking.

    It was straight unfair, it put a risk on PVE side of players and reward on PVP side of players. It allows other players leech on other work and gain on other loss and misfortune.

    Making you lose TV stones in instances that do not even provide them is even more unfair. If dungeons only take away TV stones but not give, there is something wrong here.

    Yes, that would fix this flawed mechanic. Just like everyone cures vampirism when entering a city in case everyone's Valkyn Skoria's set activates on you at the same time.

    I had my stones saved in the bank and I wasn't crying because I lost some useless PTS items. I am reporting what I believe is a mistake in the Tel Var Stone mechanics: If you cannot win them in an area you should not lose them in that area.

    The entrance is even right beside the bank, that is definitely not the problem.

    Wait a second. You lost stones but were all your stones in the bank or were you carrying them on your character? If on your character I could at least understand what they were trying to do but do not like it as the stones do not drop in the instances. But, if they were in your bank how can you punish a player by taking something they did not have on them when they died? That is like damage taken in combat will make me repair the chest piece I have in my bank even though it was never touched or worn at that time.

    Noooooooo, any death will result in a loss of stones. The only 100% loss is from a player kill though.

    Where player kill includes situation where a PVE monster will take away 99% of your total hp and then PVP player will just run next to you, poke you with light attack to finish you off and it will count as if he killed you all the way from 100% of your hp. He will get all your stones. And of course during that every PVE monster fighting you, will ignore other player.

    It's a bug, you do NOT lose Tel var stones inside of the dungeons. It is a UI error that apparently has already been fixed internally.

    kaithuzar You don't really lose Tel Var stones in the dungeons. Your death recap tells you that, and once I noticed I took note of my TV count, and after I died, I checked again, and still had the same amount. As mentioned in ESO live you don't gain or lose stones in the dungeons, but I really hope the UI for the recap gets fixed so it doesn't make you think you are anymore.

    This is indeed a UI bug and has been fixed.

    A UI bug is still a bug, don't be so brazen to correct the people who made the game =/
